Ooo had my first ever complete hard lock on my PS3 playing this last night. It froze and wouldn't even reset with power button. Had to reluctantly unplug which then leads to possible corrupt files so has to do a HDD scan.

Done well in the Ark Falls though, I came third twice and got my name high up the leader board. I dont know why I didn't choose my psn i.d. For my name! Instead if you PS3 chaps see a Maximus Desimus, that's me.

My jumping on to this game as they bring the servers down for maintenance seems to be bonded in fate.

Agree, enjoying the story and development of the characters.The toughest story mission so far was holding a platform while 99ers attack you from both sides and from below,and you have nowhere to go.That took some major dodging and a couple of deaths to get through.It is nice to finally have a challenge in these types of games.

One shock I did have was when I was sniping down into an enemy base from a 200 foot high vantage point.I just expected the AI to sit and take it.No.
two guys worked their way up the hill on my right flank and behind me.

The AI does surprise me sometimes. There are enemies with simplistic behaviour there of course, but the smart guys are good at getting the drop on you. I'm sure we've all had our share of Jurassic Park style "clever girl!" moments so far

I've not had AI being that great. More they just do a lot of damage - which I like.

My first Dark Matter fight involved the troops hanging back in cover plinking me with gun fire while they let the Bulwark engage me up close. As it was the first time ever encountering a big combat robot it came as a shock.

The 99ers hung back EMP striked me so I lost all HUD then jumped me on that platform mission.And those little guys running in spewing fire.
I am having to think in these battles rather than get through Rambo style.

I also like the challenge, though it can sometimes get frustrating. Guess you just have to get used to it after so many games make you a godlike Rambo pretty early on. (Not saying Defiance is in any way realistic in that regard.)

And again I am bumping the request for PS3 EGers to speak out here and get your PSN IDs on here.

Some of us have already friended up, though I haven't managed to play with the others yet. Possibly on the weekend, Staffy / CptSupermarket/ the lot?

This seems to be getting some great feedback (in this thread anyway). I've been looking for something to sink my teeth into for a while now and think this could fit the bill. Is PC version vs 360 a no brainer?

I'm enjoying the game but a little confused. I don't see anyone using the chat box at all, and I haven't heard anyone on mic. Hope it changes soon, I like the feeling of the world but sometimes you forget it's a multiplayer game.
